She turns on the light
And pulls back the covers
Tiptoes to her things on the chair

She slips on her dress
And leans down to kiss me
Walks out the door
Brushing her hair

And I don't know
When I'll hold her again
Maybe never
'Cause she's just not free to stay here with me
And be my forever
'Cause there's someone she lies to
To lay here with me

The sheets are still warm
Where she laid beside me
Stealing the moments while we can

Now, here comes the sun
Well, I hope that she made it
Seems it was over before it began

And I don't know when I'll hold her again
Maybe never
But she's just not free
To stay here with me
And be my forever

'Cause there's someone she lies to
To lay here with me
There's someone she lies to
To lay here with me
